One out of three Sudanese children are undernourished and do not grow to their full cognitive and physical potential. About 2.7 million children suffer from wasting annually, with approximately 522,000 suffering from severe acute malnutrition.Īlthough stunting – too short for age – has slightly improved over recent years, the scale of the problem remains concerning. Sudan continues to face persistently high levels of acute malnutrition and stunting, which constitute a significant public health problem. National prevalence of global acute malnutrition – too thin for height – is 14.1 percent. An average local food basket takes up at least 75 percent of household income. High inflation continues to reduce households’ purchasing power and people are unable to meet their basic needs. 13.4 million people require humanitarian support in 2021, including 9.8 million people who are food insecure.
